The Reel
The new Shimano SpeedMaster LD II 12 2-Speed Overhead Reel has all the capabilities of the Talica II 2-Speed reel, without the premium price tag. The Speed Master LD II looks and feels tough and is built as a powerhouse reel, capable of tackling many tasks. If you need a reel that's capable of dropping livebaits for big Kings, can swing a jig and then switch to ledger rig fishing. Then the Speed Master LD could be what you're looking for.

2 Speed Gearing
This mechanism is designed so that gear changes are quick and easy, even when fighting a fish. The low gear ratio used for high-power retrieves is selected by pushing the button on the base of the handle. Return to the high-speed ratio by sliding the release button along the handle shank. By using two sets of gears, the drive and pinion gears are always engaged. There is no gear meshing during the shift.

Anti-Rust Bearings
A-RB are made of stainless steel that has been through the A-RB process. At least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Easy maintenance no-shield design allows for easy flushing of debris and easy lubrication. Increased bearing speed-no shield design and lighter viscosity lubrication reduce friction and allow the bearing to spin faster and longer.

HAGANE Body
Hagane Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.

The Rod
Designed from the ground up by the team at Shimano New Zealand, the Shimano Blackout Overhead Jigging Rod provides the perfect balance between power and ease of use in a sleek black design.

The Blackout features Shimano's innovative T45 construction. The blank is built by rolling graphite tape at a linear 45-degree angle and reinforcing it with two sheets of graphite rolled at opposing angles. This creates a lightweight blank with outstanding recovery and sensitivity. Fuji Alconite guides have been used throughout the build, ensuring the Blackout offers the trouble-free performance expected by experienced lure fisherman. While a Fuji soft-touch reel seat combines with exceptionally comfortable WINN grips to provide the Blackout with a unique feel previously only found in custom built rods.
